We'll have to wait and see what prices actually are, but this just seems to reinforce the idea that the 470 is priced much too close to the 480. The gap between the 460 and 470, both in terms of price and performance, is quite large, whereas the gap between the 470 and 480 is far smaller.

At least this 460 seems to be efficient, quiet and cool, which is nice.

Very disappointing - this was meant to be showcasing how efficient AMD now are yet it's barely any more efficient then a 950 (both can run without a 6 pin but run better with one). How are AMD going to get back into laptops when their efficient card is no better then the competitions previous gen? How is this going to stop nvidia price gorging with the 1050 when the previous gen 950 built on a much larger node is still competitive?

I am probably the last person to defend AMD but I don't think the review suite helps them here, The card is designed for e sport titles like DOTA 2 and LoL would it not be more relivent to show the performance in at least 1 of those titles as part of the review?

Most people looking to buy this card will surely be more intrested in that level game than the latest witcher3.

As it is this card can not handle 1080p medium, in 2016 that's not a statement I ever expected to make.

Was going to get myself an RX 480 and give my GTX 670 to my lad, but might just get him this instead and keep my GTX 670. Both machines only really play CS:GO and Minecraft now, so I don't really need an upgrade that badly, just wanted an upgrade to the lads Llano APU, which still seems to do a fine job.

FYI: there's a "Gigabyte GTX 460" when you meant to say RX 460 on the performance conclusion page

:-D

Haha thanks - fixed.

To those mentioning esports, a couple things: our time with this card was extremely limited so developing benches with new games didn't seem sensible. And yes, I'm sure this card is fine for those games, this is mentioned in the review too, but our benches still allow us to compare with a GTX 950. I would have preferred to compare to a 950 without a power connector (or have a 460 with a power connector) but again I can only work with what I have. Ultimately I believe all the points on the last page are accurate and wouldn't have changed with the addition of esports benchmarks.
